They dominated for large swathes of the game. The difference in class is palpable, and you know what? It's not an unfair result in my book. However, it's unfair that we lost like that - to two late goals after some really great resistance.
We are clearly a team. We're at least as good a team as Brentford, who play and understand each other beautifully - they just happen to have much better players.
It was a pen and they probably deserved the win. Not because we were poor at all, but because they were a lot better.
Four games left. We show that same application in the rest of the games and we have a big chance. COYR.
Well said, Paddy.
Let's all lighten up, take deep breaths and relax. We will be ok.
Not sure you can tell, even with the replays. Benrahma went steaming in, but I think Cullen got the ball. Result, Benrahma goes flying into the air, and the pen is given. Judging by Cullen's anger at the end of the match, I'm not sure. But as they say, seen 'em given.
I think we lost because we removed any attacking threat with the subs (Williams wasn't knackerd - he looked fresh), meaning Brentford just piled forward, and it seemed inevitable that they would score. And how we switched off for that corner! No one aware of the short ball, so a simple unchallenged cross was all it took. And yet in the first half we still posed a threat after our goal. If we'd kept playing that way we might even have nicked a second. The players will be gutted, and will need to pick themselves up again. Same here. I'm a Millwall fan tomorrow.
McGeady should of replaced Williams like for like not Lapslie we were up against when we had an outlet but once Bowyer made that decision there would be only one outcome.
Was such a negative substitution. He might as well have put Amos on.
I thought we did well first half and the subs didn't do us any favours. Luton Barnsley drawing was a good result for us. Two more wins to guarantee safety although I suspect one more might be enough
sickening but 30% possession against a top side will end up with a loss more often than not .
I watch us and think we're not as bad as I think , then the game goes on and I think we probably are as bad as I think , then further on i'm thinking we're worse than i think and we're going down
3 goals in 8 games or 3 in 5 since the restart and oppo goalies aren't being kept busy Defensively solid enough
but we're gonna need the wigan 12 points deduction to stay up
next 3 games we are capable of losing the lot, drawing the lot or winning the lot .. luckily 4 points or 2 wins should be enough wigan dependant
such hope for so long during that game , even as a pessimist i still think oh we might hang on
Pearce own goal for the second. Doughty had nothing left, had to come off. Same for Williams and Field had a knock. It's not Bowyer's fault that Lapslie and Morgan are not Championship standard. As already posted, we are 4 points and a better goal difference ahead of third from bottom. I think we did well tonight, overall, and I hope the same eleven start on Saturday; we'll have a good chance of a win. Keep the faith.

Pratley and Lockyer clear for remaining games barring sending offs/

As I put on the match thread, you dont need to look tired to be tired
Managers should be kept apart from the players - If you want to shout instructions or pass bits of paper then fair enough
is the most creative on the bench?
Their 2 nexts games V ...... Millwall 🙄
